Alexander Isak put Liverpool ahead against nine man Tottenham with a close range finish only to suffer a suspected broken leg in the same move after Micky van de Ven’s full pace slide trapped the striker’s left leg awkwardly beneath him.

Sesko’s latest setback came after a lively cameo against Tottenham, cut short by a knee issue that left Ruben Amorim (Manchester United) concerned and increased pressure to sign a striker.
